Pirates at National Maritime Museum Cornwall

Throughout April and beyond

Dashing, daring and adventurous or bloodthirsty, immoral and greedy – were pirates of the 18th-century heroes of the age or no more than callous cut-throats?

Pirates have been portrayed in film, fiction and fashion as symbols of freedom and adventure for generations. But how and why has this image been created? To find out, immerse yourself in the digital world of the Sea of Thieves game, land on Treasure Island, meet the man behind Long John Silver and dance a hornpipe with Horatio Pugwash before discovering the dark world of the real pirates of the Caribbean.

In this latest major exhibition from NMMC, explore how popular culture has shaped how we think of pirates today and dive beneath the surface to unearth the harsh and terrifying truth.

Revisit this exhibition many times as you pay once and get in free for a year!
